“Embarrassed” by the biscuit-shaped trophy that became a social media joke before the T20 series against Australia, the Pakistan Cricket Board Wednesday launched an inquiry into the fiasco and its marketing head resigned.

Social media was flooded with jokes ridiculing the PCB after a biscuit-shaped trophy was unveiled for the series earlier this month that Pakistan won 3-0.

“The silverware was an embarrassment for us and investigation is being held as to how the concerned department allowed this to happen,” a PCB official said on condition of anonymity.
